Fuel Tank Pressure Control Valve Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve electrical connector.
2. Using a DMM, measure the resistance of the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve between both terminals. The resistance should
be 28 to 36 ohms at 20°C (68°F).
3. Replace the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve if the resistance is not 28 to 36 ohms at 20°C (68°F). If the resistance is within
specification, proceed to step 3.
4. Disconnect the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve vacuum hoses from the intake manifold and the vacuum pipe (from the Tank
Pressure Control valve).
5. Blow air into the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve vacuum hose that was disconnected from the vacuum pipe. Air should not
pass through the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve and exit from the intake manifold hose.
6. Connect 12 volts DC to the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve terminals.
7. Blow air into the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve vacuum hose that was disconnected from the vacuum pipe. Air should pass
through the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve and exit from the intake manifold hose.
8. Replace the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve, if the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve failed this
inspection.
9. Reconnect the EVAP Tank Pressure Control Solenoid vacuum valve vacuum hoses and electrical connector.
